Opis

The Grameen Bank of Bangladesh has successfully lent small sums to poor women for income generation. This empirical study examines the programme's long-term influence and argues that credit alone can create fundamental change, even in an environment distinctly hostile to women's autonomy.

Spis treści

The bank in the village; what credit can do - women's contribution; wives and partners; Taka talks - centrality in the household; strategies for survival; still poor - disaster and dependency; women on their own; group and centre - solidarity and self-interest; centering on the children.
